Las Olas Del Melillero

Pale pink colour, with delicate red fruit and flowers aromas. Dry with a balanced acidity and roundness due to the aging sur lees in the barrels. A combination of the complexity from ancient Pedro Ximenez vinyards and the light and elegant red aromas from, Petit verdot, Tempranillo and Shyraz.

A very suggestive and surprising wine. Served cold, it is ideal for aperitive, and pairing with fish, seafood, salmon, sushi, rice dishes and desserts.

Region

Vineyards are located in the Natural Park Montes de Malaga. Pedro Ximenez grapes come from small plots of between 30 and 100 years old, whereas the Petit verdot, Syrah and Tempranillo vines were planted in the 90’s in the historical Finca La Fresneda. These are dry farmed, mountain vineyards located at an altitude between 800 and 1,000 m. It is an extremely steep topography, with slopes of between 46 and 76% that requires manual labour using age-old viticulture techniques. In these conditions, the yields are very low (900-1000 kg/ha), but the concentration of the berry is optimal for making quality wines.

Wine production

The grapes are hand-picked in boxes of 9 kg. Each plot is vinified separately in small tanks of 500-1000 L.

Maturation

Red grapes, barrel fermented and aged for 14 months. Pedro Ximénez fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Grand-Vas method.
